Crashing on iPad beginning May 5, 2022

Worked fine every day with no glitches. Today(20220505) it will not load at all. Flashes and then back to home screen.

They capped the daily plays!

A couple of releases ago, they capped the number of daily plays, at least on the iPhone 13. I used to enjoy playing more than just 3 games per day. I hate this new limit.

App won’t open anymore

Don’t know what is going on, but my Astraware Solitaire app quit working period. Won’t open up no matter what I do. Very disappointed

Play Every Night

I play Free Cell and Spider every evening before sleep almost as a form of meditation.

However, after the latest update I can’t play Spider because the cards are too tiny. I miss my game! Hope you’re working on this bug. I play on an iPhone 8 iOS version 14.6.

The Best-Keeps Getting Better!

I've been playing this game for years, started on my first Palm, and it just gets better and better. The new upgrade makes it more fun and personal. You can customize your cards, the background, and even adjust the rules. I didn't realize how useful that would be until my grandchild started to play. Tweaking the rules to increase the likelihood of winning makes it more approachable for him. It allows him to win enough to want more. The more he plays, the more he learns how to see potential moves and probabilities as he plays. All in all, a well- planned and beautifully designed game. Just what you'd expect from Astraware! Thanks.

Addendum-LOVE the new update for iPhone 6!!! Now 11!
Update-still playing on iPhone 11!

Well done Astraware👍🥇🏆

Beautifully presented collection of solitaire games. Easy to customise with plenty of options to change the appearance and difficulty of every game. Suitable for novice and expert solitaire fans. Easily the best solitaire app for iPad. Intuitive and comprehensive help and instructions. What’s not to like. I applaud the developers and thank them!!!!!!

Great app

I have been using this app almost daily for over 10 years. I find it relaxing and stimulating. Thus I play it while ready to go to bed or when ready to wake up. I have played thousands of times (I’m retired😊) and it has always worked. Very recently a small bug started where a card was taking up a spot in the tableau but was not identified. The game still worked but I reported it and it was fixed in short order. The app does everything I want and gives options that are good for learning a new game (there are 12) or to make a game more interesting. For example just last month in Klondike I allowed any card versus just kings in the empty tableau column. Changed the game a lot and winning went from approximately 9% of the time to maybe 14%. My strategy changed too. So I highly recommend the game and too bad some apparently have had issues and hence the lower ratings.

Fun and addictive

The last update broke the landscape mode. With my bad eyes I can’t read the card numbers. Hoping you will fix the app to flip. Thanks
Embarrassed to say, l accidentally locked rotation on my phone. Allis well.

Too many glitches!

I play 2 suited spider mostly. Had a 4500+ game winning streak and app reset the statistics. Thanks! Game isn’t very intuitive and it will tell you, “Game Over” when you clearly have plenty of moves left. Needs work big time!

Update Great

This developer makes AWESOME games and the new update just got even better. A must have if you like card games as graphics and card movement is really nice on the iPhone and IPAD. Full screen on my iPad Pro.

Great App has been ruined.

I’ve had this app for years and loved it. It started malfunctioning so I had to reload it from the App Store. But what downloaded was awful. First, it wants me to repay for updated version, although they have not changed the game itself. Moreover it is full of ads (ads in a Paid application?) and if you want to reach customer support, it requires you give them personal information first so they can (and I quote) “Select appropriate adverts from Google, Facebook and other partner companies.” Jeez, I think I’ll pass.

Best Solitaire

After trying a dozen different solitaire games on IOS This one is still the best. A recent update caused some problems but was fixed with a update within couple of days. Great support.

Big oops - then fix - bigger oops

10/2019-New update- new problem now the app won’t go into landscape mode

It got fixed, but the latest update causes it to crash again

I got used to, but never really liked the update, but hey, at least it didn't crash like today's update. Do what I should have check for reviews before you upgrade. It now crashes rather than launches a game

This was one of my favourites, and I don't like the update at all. The second update fixed some of the issues, but it just seems clunky. Wish I could roll it back

Latest update unusable

I've owned this game for years and love it but the latest update broke it on my iPhone XR. Touch is unresponsive and the display gets misaligned.

Got even worse!

Wow. The developer just released a “bug fix” version and the iPhone X landscape rendering has got even worse! Reported problems with this rendering ages ago. Will move on to another application now. Bye bye.

Updated and won’t even load

I love playing freecell but this latest update won’t even load. Can’t have been through any sort of pre launch testing

Version 2.28.020 Display Bugs

Not filling screen. Touch mapping errors.

Bought full version years ago, now they are charging again

This is not a good way to do business. I bought the full version of this game years ago, now if I want unlimited play and no ads I have to pay again. I am surprised Apple allows this. I am very disappointed. I made a note of this company’s name so I won’t buy their games again. Time find another solitaire game.

Still no answer from developers

It looks like the reviews from this year have disappeared. (I know developers have the option to reset the review counters with a new version, but why wouldn’t that wipe out all old reviews?) I want an answer from support that explains why I have to pay for an app that I purchased years ago, and what exactly does Restore Purchases mean. It does nothing for me. I’ve asked several times and the developers are silent.

Used to be my favorite game on the palm platform. And now on Android and iOS until they got greedy.
